The votes have been tallied and the Japanese Teahouse theme was our winner for the upcoming CI!
Now I have another mission for you all...
Let's help wishie create it!
Post pictures of items, scenery, etc. in this thread to help inspire our pixelist wishie and give her ideas and references!
I'm thinking...paper screens, traditional tea instruments, floor cushions...let your imagination run wild and post your ideas here!

The first picture shows the Japanese ceremonial tea service correct? Did you attended, Maria? Isn't it amazingly Zen like? That place looks awesome I love it!

That is correct Hummy :) We got to watch and they would explain what was happening. Then they let us try the tea after the ceremony was over. IT was so incredible!

Oh I'm so happy you guys got to experience it. I just love the Japanese culture. I'm not a fan of the frothy green tree tea but I am sitting here drinking some Jasmine green tea. It is a beautiful ceremony.

I just LOVE matcha - I make matcha tea at home. So the bitter, thick tea they serve was actually really delicious to me. My best friend hated it though XD

Matcha is delish! I went a solid week ( ) drinking exclusively matcha at work when I was trying to curb my coffee consumption. Deeply earthy and yummy! I switched back to coffee pretty quickly, though, but not because of the flavor.
I'd love it if this CI somehow blended both the traditional Japanese teahouse aesthetic and maybe a more modern Tokyo flare - I'm thinking, somehow, neon lights or avant-garde, modern fashion-y stuff in addition to the traditional. I just find Japanese culture to be an excellent collision of tradition versus modernism/futurism...

I absolutely love the cat cafe concept, since they're on an upward trend globally (my city just got our first one last month, in fact!), and it ties well into my itching for something more... modern. I definitely feel like we have enough items that can cobble together a solid Japanese teahouse vibe, but it's a pretty tried and true aesthetic by itself.
Now this might be out of left field/totally tough to incorporate in a pixel form, but it might also be cool to do some kind of riff on the Taiwanese poop-themed restaurant craze, while we're at it?! Perhaps this is diverging enough into its own CI territory, but I don't recall us having a toilet pose/background yet, right? I'm still catching up on items since I've been away for so long, but I definitely know it wasn't in that bath-themed CI...
Anyway... I'm always a fan of CIs/EIs/items as a whole that don't easily fit into one aesthetic category, personally, so I may be a loner there... Plus I love potty humor, 'cause I'm garbage.

Ooh, a parasol would be really nice. But how would we make that work on mene's base?
I hate the whole folded umbrella stuff that just holds in our hands and has no option to be open. D:

If you look up umbrella in the marketplace you'll see all the ones we have already, including parasols with several equip options. They could be like that.

I don't own any, so I wasn't aware there was layering issues. Therefore, I'm honestly not sure if they have been changed.

The only layering issue I am aware of with that CI was the rain appearing to be "inside" when using windows, etc. which was fixed.

Oh, I didn't think she was referring to the CI. I thought the parasols.
